SOME KID'S NEGATIVE ATTACK
Somebody bought some paintings from us up in Park City, then wanted to buy custom paintings from us, not realizing there is a price difference.  Somehow his little brother got a hold of the email we sent him with the price difference and decided to masquerade as his older brother and sent an outrageous email to us.  Click here to read his email and feel free to let us know what'chu think of it.  Also read other people's responses.

STOLEN ART
We had about 20 pictures stolen from us at the 2008 Salt Lake Arts Festival.  LAME!!!  A purple 'Prince', a 'Pink Floyd, and many others.  If you know of someone that was involved with ripping us off, let'em know "THEY SUCK".

FAT CHANCE
Iosua Tai Taeoalii has just finished a script entitled, Fat Chance, a remake of his 2nd feature film shot many years ago on video called Hustlin' a Hustler.  With a massive  improvement on the story, Iosua and Jeremy Nielsen hope to begin production on Fat Chance in the next few months.

A MAN AFOOT
Iosua Tai Taeoalii and Jeremy Nielsen are currently finishing up a screenplay entitled, A Man Afoot.  A dramatic love story about a Vaquero (Spanish Cowboy) tormented with the hardships of 19th Century western frontier life and impassioned with a bond between himself and his horse.  A film that WCP intends to begin production in upcoming months.

LEGEND OF THE PACIFIC
Weird Chief Pictures is working on a script based on the Samoan legend of Malietoa, the mythical warrior.  Legend of the Pacific will touch upon many Polynesian legends, ceremonies and way of life, showcasing the unique traits of a people not yet defined by modern cinema. Much as Western films have done with the American Indian, we will explore the mystique and lore of ancient Polynesia. We will also employ the similar aspects of Asian Martial Arts films that illustrate their past filled with myth and magic, in essence creating a new genre of film.
